The first Leica lens was a 50 mm f/3.5 design based on the Cooke triplet of 1893, adapted by Max Berek at Leitz. The lens had five elements in three groupsâthe third group being three cemented elementsâand was initially called the Leitz Anastigmat.n addition to the 50mm normal lens, a 35mm wide angle and a 135 mm telephoto lens were initially available. In the mid-1930s, a legendary soft-focus lens, the Thambar 90mm f/2.2 was designed, and made in small numbers between 1935 and 1949, no more than 3000 units. It is a rare collector's item today.
LEICA 35mm SUMMICRON f/2 lenses are all superb, and therefore all expensive. My personal favorite is the original 8-element 35mm f/2 LEICA SUMMICRON with the additional finder optics, which sells used for about $1,200 used, and is superb and works great with all LEICA M cameras, especially the LEICA M9.EICA's 24mm lenses are superb lenses, but they don't make much sense for practical use as part of a system. Unlike SLRs, you need special finders when you add an oddball focal length; LEICAs do not view through-the-lens as do SLRs.
